Synopsis

Presenter Frank Mellor joins the Coniston Hunt for a day. Huntsmen are shown on foot with hounds looking for fox scent on the fells, a fox is chased, huntsmen dig into the ground to find it and it is killed. A passing fellwalker voices her protest at the hunt. Includes interviews with some of the huntsman including Tommy Preston and Mark Forster (presumably the lead huntsman is renowned huntsman John Peel from Caldbeck).
